Overview

  • Shubman Gill finished unbeaten on 129 to complete his 10th Test hundred and fifth as captain before calling the declaration at 518 for 5.
  • West Indies closed on 140 for 4, trailing by 378, with Ravindra Jadeja taking 3 for 37 as India pressed for a 2-0 series sweep.
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal, who batted through day one to 173*, was run out for 175 early on day two after a miscommunication with Gill.
  • Gill’s century came with multiple milestones, including becoming India’s leading run-scorer in World Test Championship history this cycle, as partnerships with Nitish Kumar Reddy (43) and Dhruv Jurel (44) swelled the total.
  • Social-media reaction focused on the run-out mix-up, while Jadeja downplayed it as part of the game and said India are well placed heading into day three.
